Ottawa @ Winnipeg Pre-Game

[Jesse]

Yeah, that was expected about Griffin and unfortunate. Hearing Lawson is practising is a surprise but then we also never heard what his injury was earlier. He's only missed 3 games of his IR stint and I would be surprised to see him activated. OTOH it would beef up our DL choices.

I really didn't expect Collaros to be practising but I commented that might be a forced choice if Brown can't start this week.

Any other players taking 1st team reps as possible changes to the roster? We have to decide on which import to add as a DI. It might be the last chance for Jenkins to grab a spot.

No reports about Brown yet?

Lawson and Collaros were taking all the starters reps. They both definitely seem like they're coming off early.

Dru was dressed and taking part in drills but took no reps that I saw. Elgersma and Perkins took turns running some scout team reps for the defence.

Woodbey obviously in for a bunch of reps in Griffin's absence.

No changes to offence other than Zach and Broxton coming back in.

Hopefully Broxton is replacing Bryant or will MOS ever pull Bryant?

No, Broxton is obviously back in his RT spot.

MOS will never pull Bryant, its not in his DNA to pull a hall of fame player from the field of play...just like he didn't pull Bighill when he was hurt

Who's taking Bryant's spot even if he were to get pulled? The depth with the O-line at present is laughable.

Vanterpool played a couple of games at LT in 2025 didn't he? The more common idea was to move Broxton to LT and let Vanterpool stay at RT.

Brownie probably goes to the 1 game.

That doesn't really sound like an improvement to me.

Griffin in a walking boot.

Big blow

Big blow

In an underperforming defence, I can't really say this is going to be a big step back for us. Woodbey steps in and does the same job.

It doesn't seem informing fans Jaworski was in an off-season traffic accident is giving out too much personal information, instead of announcing that he retired.  The Bomber way is to give him a fair shot at stepping in where he left off, it may take a few weeks of conditioning before they give him another look though.

Broxton is a LT by history and we signed him to a big contract. Both QB's were injured from hits coming from the left side.

He was the west division most outstanding OL, in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
